Pictographic languages go top to bottom or sometimes bottom to top even.
Comment on why is the beginning on the left and the end on the right?

It’s arbitrary. Hebrew and Arabic write right to left, for example, and other things go the other way too such as computer UIs

Arabic is right to left, but interestingly the place values of numbers are still left to right from highest to lowest

The number system is Indian not Arabic.
